Hello Year 2!
I am really sorry that some of you are having to stay at home this week and I hope that you are OK and are not feeling too poorly. We miss seeing you in school ! On this page is some home learning that you can have a go at if you are able to. If you want to get in touch with me via SEESAW or email that would be great. I will respond, but it will be after school finishes for the day, as I am in school teaching the rest of the children. I will also get in touch with you this week at some point to check how you are doing.
Take Care

MATHS
In school today we are carrying on with our work on multiplication.
We are looking at some word problems where you need to be able to calculate equal groups.
For example - If there are 2 wheels on a bike. How many wheels on 5 bikes ?
This is the same as 5 groups of 2 or 5 X 2.
I can draw a picture to help me if I need to.
